I think the Ethical AI pilot training at The University of Kansas Health System was excellent. Lindsay and her team brought us together and provided a forum for the sorts of conversations we want to have around AI’s use in healthcare. I was particularly impressed with Ryan’s depth of knowledge and how he approached these questions as a practicing medical ethicist.

I was so impressed with their approach that I have started to think with my own team in some of the terms/complex dynamics (do no harm, patient autonomy etc.) that were introduced during the sessions. I’m excited for future collaboration and learning more from those folks for how we can as an organization ethically implement rapidly expanding and improving AI technologies.

The Ethical AI initiative of the Center for Practical Bioethics comes at a critical time. The rapid emergence of Chat-GPT and other AI-enabled technologies in healthcare requires careful consideration. The balanced approach of the Center, weighing risks such as amplifying bias versus the benefits of improved health, is exactly what we need.

The Center recently facilitated an Ethical AI workshop at my organization. Participants frequently have shared how much it equipped them to reflect on AI and adopt an intentional approach to a challenging but important topic.

The presentation of the Ethical AI training materials at The University of Kansas Health System provided our leaders real-world, thought-provoking curriculum which could be immediately applied in their day-to-day work.

Since the two-day workshop, I’ve had conversations with participants who have begun using terms that were discussed in the training that were not typically included in their approach or work habits. Our leaders have begun to apply the content and are eager to continue their growth with ethical principles and the responsible deployment of AI.

We’ve only just started to realize the full potential of our engagement with Ethical AI Services from the Center for Practical Bioethics and are looking forward to the future with increased opportunities to collaborate.
